Key benefits of MAX adjustable pedestals:

1. Adaptability to uneven ground: Adjustable pedestals make it easy to adjust the deck height to accommodate any uneven ground, eliminating the need for additional earthworks or levelling the substrate.

2. Ease of installation: Height adjustment makes installing joists and the deck structure simpler and more flexible, saving time and labour.

3. Weather resistance: Adjustable pedestals are often made from weather-resistant materials, such as plastics or stainless steel, ensuring the durability and stability of the deck structure.

4. Option to change the height in future: Height adjustment allows the deck to be easily adapted to changing user needs or ground conditions in the future, increasing the structure's flexibility and functionality.

5. Appearance: Adjustable pedestals are often designed to blend in with the rest of the deck structure, helping to maintain an attractive overall appearance.

6. Material savings: By allowing precise adjustment of joist heights, adjustable pedestals help minimise the amount of materials used, which can help reduce construction costs.

7. Exceptional strength: With the ability to withstand a single-point load of up to 1000 kg, these pedestals are very strong products, making them a popular choice among professional companies providing decking and balcony services. 

 

How to use the pedestals

• Position the pedestals on the ground, concrete or another substrate so that they stand securely. 

 

• Space them at suitable intervals so that the joist resting on the pedestals does not flex at all. 

 

• Screw the joists to the pedestals to create a stable overall structure.

 

Summary:

• Using adjustable decking pedestals for joists offers a range of benefits, including easier installation, flexibility, durability and an attractive appearance, making them a popular choice for building decks and other outdoor timber structures.

• Thanks to its design, the adjustable decking pedestal for joists is not only more efficient than traditional solutions, but also more economical! Using this type of pedestal saves money. As they do not require alterations to the substrate or insulation layers, the pedestals and joists do not affect the durability of the insulation layers. This helps you avoid frequent, time-consuming maintenance and costly repairs.
